Chicago Bears TE Leonard Pope impressed head coach Marc Trestman with a solid showing as a blocker during inside drills against the defensive linemen. "I watched him out there today catching the ball. Certainly what we see is clear. We see a big man," Trestman said Monday, Aug. 5.

Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said he believed OG Kelvin Beachum and TE Leonard Pope stood out during offseason workouts. Colbert believes Beachum could play guard or tackle at this point and thinks he could also play center in the future.
